(Elías Capriles) lucidly challenges Wilber’s well-known ontogenetic holarchy model,claiming it is based on a delusion and its complicated gradations are only gradations of delusion; (he) also challenges other well-known transpersonal models, such as Washburn’sand Grof’s. Compellingly, (he) presents a strong case for an alternative view that couldhave major impact on transpersonal thought (due to the) powerful perspective (it presents).Douglas A. MacDonald & Harris Friedman, Co-editors,International Journal of Transpersonal Studies,vol. 25, 2006, p. 2
